But given that the code is clean and easily maintainable, it could be much more efficient for us to focus on one extension and make it rock instead of trying to get each of them work well. As Rasmus stated, between the opcode/engine and the way such extensions work, we only have a handful of developers able to work on them, and not full time. Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye
